Basque language and philosophy discussions held in Spain

A series of cultural and intellectual events took place in the Basque Country, focusing on the future of the Basque language and philosophical reflections on happiness.

In Bermeo, the ‘Esnatu ala hil’ (Wake up or die) conference addressed the current state and future prospects of the Basque language. Participants discussed the need for new perspectives and steps to ensure the language's normalization and survival in a changing world. The event emphasized that while there is consensus on the importance of the language, significant shifts in how it is perceived and implemented are necessary to maintain its momentum.

In Vitoria-Gasteiz, the Txinparta network of philosophy enthusiasts organized a dialogue centered on the concept of happiness. Held at the Errexala association, the event aimed to promote critical thinking and bring philosophy into the public sphere. The discussion explored whether happiness is synonymous with being happy, with participants suggesting that happiness can exist independently of one's immediate emotional state.
